Joseph Haydns String Quartets, Opus 54 and 55 were composed in the last 15 years of the 1700s, all for violinist Johann Tost. Though often posited, the first violin parts were not composed to the specific (and now unknown) skill level of Tost, and are not particularly more difficult than in other of Haydns quartets. The well known Razor quartet, opus 55 number 2, is included in this set.
